Stocks soar as worries over Ireland ease; GM jumps

Stocks surge as hopes build for a resolution of Ireland's debt woes; GM shares bound higher

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks bounded higher Thursday on strong interest in General Motors' initial public offering and growing confidence that Ireland will resolve its debt crisis.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 170 points in morning trading, following European markets higher. U.S. shares got another boost after from a surprisingly strong reading on regional manufacturing activity from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.

Markets had been roiled in recent days by fears that Ireland would be the next European country to need a bailout. Greece came close to fiscal collapse in May and had to be rescued by other European countries and the International Monetary Fund. Fears that Greece's fiscal morass would undermine Europe's shared currency, the euro, and lead to bailouts of other European countries brought stock prices down around the world in May and early June.

Signs of progress in talks among Irish and European officials Thursday gave investors hope that the country would reach a deal soon with the European Union and the IMF to shore up its finances. Ireland has nationalized three of its six local banks following a collapse of the country's real estate market.
